But this raises a question who do you think would win in a battle of Nero vs Gil?
I obviously support Nero but if I were to think about it logically she is at a disadvantage in a ranged fight since she has no ranged attacks.
Well, I don't know much about Gil aside from what was established of him in the Fate route, so to that extent I have to say that she'd likely win in the end. She'd be pretty bloodied up, I'm sure, but she'd win.
Though he could cheese his way through most fights by just raining down a hail of swords, Gil is a classic villain, and classic villains always go toe-to-toe even if it's the dumber thing to do. Why? For the same reason they monologue for a half hour about how much they want to rape you before FINALLY making a move: they're overconfident.
One cool thing about
Saber is that she's cocky and pompous, but she doesn't run from the sting of failure and loss she's felt in her past.
That's why she'd win: Gilgamesh just wouldn't seriously admit to having any fault, whereas Saber not only admitted hers but corrected them.
I'd like to see the taunts at the beginning of that fight, though. Gil is a classic villain and
Saber, though she's always insightful, loves to monologue too. Between the both of them I can imagine they'd never even get to fighting. Hahaha~
